And much more…In Cheshvan, when “our lips are still merachshevan (fluttering) from the tefillos of the yomim noraim” it’s good to renew our connection to prayer. Last semester’s course on the prayers for the Yomim Tovim are now followed by this special course on our daily prayers, just for women, with Yehudis Golshevsky.
How can we bring more to our tefillot of Shacharit, Minchah, and Maariv? Using Likutey Moharan as our guide, this course will help you uncover the deeper meanings of prayer and encourage you to invest more energy into davening from your siddur.

The order of the prayers and encountering Hashem.
Preparation for prayer: finding focus and expressing the truth, and simplicity.

Mincha and MaarivThere is a cyclical rhythm to the Days of Awe and the prayer services reflect this. Breslov texts (Likutey Moharan Likutey Halachot, and Sippurey Maasiot) offer us enriching insights into the deep meaning of the prayers we’ll be saying. Join Yehudis Golshevsky as she discusses how to maximize the High Holy Days.

Ushpizin (Supernal Guests)—The Seven BeggarsLamentations says of the destruction of the Holy Temple, “Beetza emrato”, “He executed His word.” These stark words can also be read as “He tore His royal robe.” In this class about the destruction of the Beit Hamikdash in Likutey Moharan, Lesson 219, Rebbe Nachman shows us how the degree of Godliness revealed to a person is commensurate with the degree of humility he has attained.
